    When Hu Yanzhuo frowned and looked at the map he had just drawn, he saw General Han Tao lift the curtain and come in. He hurriedly said: "Why are you here? Didn't the army doctor ask you to rest? Quickly show General Han his seat."

    Han Tao ignored the soldiers moving the chairs and walked straight to the commander's case and said: "I heard that more than a dozen officers were killed in the past two days. We can't continue the fight. Our army can't bear such losses. We can't."  Without the middle-level officers to carry out the general's orders, the army was in disarray, and there might be problems before the decisive battle. When I just came over, the soldiers along the way were whispering. "

    Hu Yanzhuo was a little upset when he was accused by Han Tao, but the two have been friends for many years, and Han Tao's accusation is not unreasonable, and it is not easy to use the majesty of the coach to suppress Han Tao.

    I had no choice but to explain: "Yesterday, I saw that only Lin Chong and two unknown young men would challenge me, so I thought I could capture one of them in exchange for Peng Qi. I didn't expect that the little overlord Chao Yong actually has the power of an overlord, and the sun will never move.  They killed four of our generals in a row, and in the end they drove away the horses with one stick, which made our army lose their morale. Today I saw that only the iron rod Luan Tingyu and the double gun general Dong Ping came. I thought I could defeat him and boost their morale.  , who knew that although they were not overlords, they were both brave enough to kill several of my generals. I and the remaining generals stepped forward to besiege me, but I didn¡¯t want to injure one more person by Luan Tingyu¡¯s flying hammer.  I picked three people with a flat gun, but they broke through and escaped. "

    When Han Tao heard Hu Yanzhuo's original intention, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, you and I originally thought that we could make great achievements in this battle, but we didn't expect that the Liangshan bandits were so powerful. We didn't even make any achievements, but we defeated Peng Qi first. The Liangshan bandits were like this.  Brave, how can we get them?"

    Seeing that Han Tao was a little discouraged, Hu Yanzhuo said hurriedly: "I have asked people to put up the no-war card and no longer fight with Liangshan generals. The Liangshan bandits are only a few thousand mobs, but we have eight thousand elite forbidden troops. As long as we force them to go out for a decisive battle,  A battle can be accomplished."

    Han Tao frowned and said: "I think the Liangshan bandits also have people who are proficient in the art of war. After we waited for the army to arrive, the Liangshan soldiers and horses huddled in the Liangshan River. I guess they planned to defend the mountain stronghold. It may not be easy to force them out. Our army has all the advantages.  The cavalry army is not used to water warfare, and the terrain of Liangshan Water Park is complicated. If we attack Liangshan by force, we may lose a lot of troops before we reach Liangshan. "

    Hu Yanzhuo pointed at the map and laughed: "What you said is good, but I have a plan. Just look here."

    Han Tao was overjoyed to hear that Hu Yanzhuo had a plan, but he looked at the map and immediately said doubtfully: "Although it is closer to Liangshan from here, it is still about four or five miles away, and there are reeds in the middle. I'm afraid it's still difficult to walk by water.  Be farther away.¡±

    Hu Yanzhuo shook his head and said: "No, we are not going to attack Liangshan. Our army's advantage lies entirely in the cavalry. If we abandon our horses and go into the water, we will first lose our army's advantage and give the Liangshan grass bandits the advantageous location of Shuibo Village, which is what our army can do."  To attack Liangshan by force will inevitably result in the loss of troops and generals, which is not advisable. It is already autumn, there is not much water in the Yellow River, and the water level has also dropped. We can build a land route from here to approach Liangshan. "

    Hearing this, Han Tao nodded and said, "This way, our army can go into the water less often, but we don't know the depth of the water in the center of the water park. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to fill the land route."

    "No, I'm not planning to fill it all the way to the foot of Liangshan Mountain. I heard that there is a gunner Ling Zhen in Tokyo, whose name is Hongtianlei. He is good at making all kinds of artillery. It can hit two or three miles away. Wherever the artillery falls, the sky collapses and the earth collapses.  , The mountain is shattered and the rocks are cracked. Moreover, if he is proficient in martial arts and skilled in bow and horse, we can attack the thieves' nest with only half of the troops and force Liangshan's troops to come out for a decisive battle."

    Han Tao thought for a while and said suspiciously: "The land route that was filled in can only accommodate one artillery mount at most. Even if he shot accurately, how could he ignite the grass bandits' nest and force them to come out for a decisive battle."

    Hu Yanzhuo smiled and said: "As for ordinary stone cannons and artillery, one or two of them are really useless. But I heard that Ling Zhen improved the gunpowder, and the artillery collapsed everywhere. Even an artillery fire can be fired continuously.  Let the thieves have no place to hide.¡±

    Hearing this, Han Tao became even more confused and said: "If he really invented such a sharp weapon, the court should reuse him. Why have I never heard of it?"

    "His improved artillery is still unstable, and its power fluctuates, so the court does not promote it. Even so, we don't want to lose our troops, so we can only give it a try. Fortunately, it only takes ten days to go to Tokyo."

    Hearing this, Han Tao could only nod helplessly.

    The two came to an agreement. Hu Yanzhuo immediately sent someone to report to Cai Jing, saying that he was greedy for Chao Gai and trapped Peng Qi. Now the bandits dare not come out.  Liangshan is surrounded by water, and the army has no way to advance.  As long as the artillery fire is flying, the nest is demolished, and the thieves are forced to fight.

    When Cai Jing received Hu Yanzhuo¡¯s documents, he directly sent them to Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu saw no need for a gunner.  Dang Ji gave Ling Zhen marching documents and asked him to set off overnight.

    Ling Zhen was overjoyed to hear that his invention could be tested on the battlefield, and he immediately started planning for use.The pyrotechnic materials and the various artillery and gun mounts were loaded into the car. They also took their armor with them and left Tokyo and headed straight for Liangshan.

    A few days later, when I arrived at the imperial army camp, I saw the general Hu Yanzhuo. He looked at the map carefully, and then personally went to the waterfront and checked it for a day.

    The next day, Hu Yanzhuo gathered all his troops and came to the waterside.

    "Dong dong dong"

    Early in the morning, the Juyi drum rang quickly, and the village leaders hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed to the Juyi Hall.

    There are different ways to beat the Juyi drum, with different rhythms, and the time given to each leader is also different.  The sound of the drums just now caused the leaders to rush to the Juyi Hall within one stick of incense after the drums stopped.

    Everyone else lives in Dazhai, only Ruan Xiaoqi lives in Shanxiashui Village.  Hearing the rapid beating of the drum, Ruan Xiaoqi only had time to put on a single piece of clothing and ran up the mountain in a hurry.

    When I arrived at the Juyi Hall, I saw that everyone was here. I sat down in my seat, wiped my sweat with my sleeves, and took a breath and said: "The drums are beating so fast, maybe that Hu Yanzhuo is coming to beat me in Liangshan."

    When Chao Gai saw that everyone had arrived, he said: "I just came down the mountain to report that Hu Yanzhuo's entire army has risen and is coming to Liangshan. In addition, these days, Hu Yanzhuo has not requisitioned any ships along the river, and the prefect of Jezhou has  He also ordered all counties to hand in cloth bags. I'm afraid Hu Yanzhuo is really going to fill a road in the water. Let's see how we should deal with it."

    Lin Chong frowned and said: "If he really wants to fill the lake, we probably won't be able to stop him. Hu Yanzhuo's command is the Forbidden Army, and they have a lot of divine arm bow equipment, which is enough to suppress our Liangshan archers. If we stop them from filling the lake, we will probably suffer heavy casualties."  "

    Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Even if they fill in a road, it is just a single-plank bridge. How many soldiers and horses can pass at one time. It is extremely difficult to capture the water stronghold, let alone our Liangshan Dazhai. If Hu Yanzhuo really wants to  Pave out the way and attack by force, I'm afraid he will never finish the road."

    Hearing this, Peng Qi shook his head and said: "General Hu Yan loves his soldiers very much. He would not exchange such casualties for his fame."

    Chao Gai heard this and said with a smile: "Everyone has nothing to do, why don't we all take a boat to see what Hu Yanzhuo is up to."
